Zingerman's Mother's Day Catalog 2023

Ultra Creamy Cakes

Cheesecakes

At Zingerman’s Bakehouse, our cheesecake starts with fresh, hand-ladled cream cheese made a few doors down at Zingerman’s Creamery. For our classic, New York-style cheesecake, we add in real vanila, lots of sweet butter, and a crust made from our own scratch-made graham crackers for a luscious, fluffy, irresistible cake. And just for the spring, we make a bright, fruity version with loads of fresh rhubarb and a sugar cookie-based crust that’s hard to stop eating. Each cheesecake is 7” in diameter and serves 6-8. Rhubarb cheesecake available to ship starting May 1. Classic Cheesecake available to ship now.

A-ZCH classic cheesecake $85

A-RHU rhubarb cheesecake $85

Superbly Swirled Cakes

Babkas

Babka is a sweet loaf, both fluffy and rich, kind of like a light textured coffee cake with a dense filling swirled throughout. The master bakers at Zingerman’s Bakehouse make two flavors of babka. The first is swirled with chocolate and cinnamon and studded with juicy golden sultana raisins. The second is stuffed with pieces of roasted apple, toasted bits of walnuts, and a swirl of Michigan honey. Each comes gift boxed and serves 6–8.

Coffee Cake of the Month Club

Our coffee cakes aren’t built on any secrets. They’re also not built from too much sugar, shortening or other shortcuts that mar the flavor of many “gourmet” pastries that look nice but taste bland. These are the product of great ingredients, solid recipes and a lot of care. They’re our most popular gift—we ship thousands to food lovers across America every year. You can read more about each flavor on page 19—or you can go all in with a subscription to our Coffee Cake Club. Each month we’ll send one of our most popular coffee cakes. Just as your recipient starts to miss the one they finished off a couple weeks ago, a new one will show up. We’ll keep the cakes coming for three, six, or twelve months (read about the full year option at zingermans.com). Each nosher-sized cake comes packed in a colorful, cartooned gift box and serves 5–7.

Spring's Prettiest Cake

Daisy Lemon Layer Cake

You’ve got to hand it to fondant frosting—it makes cakes gorgeous. It shapes like potter’s clay and holds color like a fresco. All those tilting, day-glo cakes you see that are so alluring—all fondant. Unfortunately, most of the cakes' engineering stops at decoration. The meat of the cake, so to speak, is bland and pointless. We’ve made sure our Mother's Daisy Cake is different. It starts with three layers of a classic yellow cake, baked with real butter, buttermilk, fresh lemon juice and real vanilla. Between each layer we spread silky buttercream frosting. Finally, we cover it with vanilla fondant we make in house: first a pastel yellow layer, then on top a big daisy and an adorable ladybug. Mom will love how it looks. She’ll talk for weeks about how it tasted. Ships frozen, arrives cool.

A-ZDV serves 6–10, 6” diameter by 4” tall $125

Rare Citrus Fruit Cakes from Robert Lambert

Full disclosure: the price on these fruit cakes may cause sticker shock. While we think of fruit cake as a cheap, industrial holiday laughing stock, these are another species altogether, crafted by Robert Lambert from rare citrus. Taking a cue from its native England, where fruit cake is eaten for special occasions (including royal weddings) year round, Robert made a special batch of cakes just for us for Mother’s Day. A slice cut thin while the cake is cool—I recommend serving it chilled—looks like a stained glass window and is a taste revelation.

White Rare Citrus Fruit Cake

Robert starts by candying exotic citrus like Buddha’s hand citron, bergamot, blood orange, Texas lemon and white grapefruit peels. He adds hazelnuts, pecans, walnuts, dark raisins, prunes, black figs soaked in Poire William eau de vie—oh yes, there’s more—dates, cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg, 10-year-old Port, and candied ginger. Then, wait for it...he soaks it all in bourbon. Comes in a muslin bag.

P-RLD 1 lb, 6 inches long, serves 8– 10 $80 SHIPS FOR FLAT RATE

Robert’s classic cake, the one we’ve offered for many years. It’s by far the best of its kind I’ve ever tried. Blood oranges, bergamots, Rangpur limes and more, many that he picks himself. Each cake is soaked in cognac and aged for a few months, then garnished with a slice of candied fruit and a bay leaf, all wrapped gently in cheese cloth. It tastes fresh, clean and lively. Comes in a muslin bag.

Superior Scone Sampler Gift Box

My mother has been hooked on these for years. I bring her a few every time I visit. Sometimes I wonder if it’s me or the scones she’s more excited to see. I can understand why. Zingerman’s scones are the real deal. Warmed for a few minutes in the oven they smell outrageously good. Their texture manages to be fluffy and buttery all at once. This tasty collection includes a half dozen scones: one Lemon Scone, one Country Scone with oats and pecans, two Ginger Scones, two Currant Scones, and a little jar each of honey and preserves to spread on them.

G-MBH mother’s day brunch $100

Raspberry Hibiscus Preserves

Our friends at Blake Hill in Windsor, Vermont have been making English-style marmalades and jams for a number of years and I’m pleased to report they’ve cracked the code on raspberry preserves. To my palate, few preserve makers are able to capture the delicate texture and flavor of raspberries without making it seem like an overly sweet paste with seeds. But after tasting this one I knew all was right with the world. They cook the raspberries with hibiscus petals and the bright, floral notes of the hibiscus balances the sweeter peaks of the fruit. Luscious and the truest flavor and texture of preserved raspberries I’ve found in years.

Cinnful Cinnamon Rolls

Almost anyone can make a cinnamon roll smell good while it’s baking, even among the cell phone kiosks at the mall. Unfortunately, most have little more than aroma to offer. You won’t taste much beyond sugar and cinnamon. The real challenge is to fashion a cinnamon roll that tastes as good as it smells. These fit the bill. Warm them up, break one open and put your nose up close. You’ll smell sweet butter, Indonesian cinnamon, real vanilla. But the real treat is next. Take one bite. That’s all you’ll need to forget the litany of cinnamon roll disappointments life has dealt you. With serving instructions.

About Rugelach

At the end of the 19th century, many Jews fleeing the pogroms of Russia and eastern Europe arrived to the lower East side of Manhattan. When Jews made rugelach cookies in the old country, they would have been pareve—that is, prepared with no dairy or meat—so that they could be served as dessert on the Sabbath or on holidays. But in New York in the early decades of the 20th century, they had new ingredients to play with, like cream cheese.

The first recipe for rugelach made with a cream cheese dough was published in the 1950 cookbook The Perfect HostWithin a couple of decades, it became the standard. In American rugelach, cream cheese dough was—and still is— king. There’s a reason that cream cheese dough has stuck around, including here at Zingerman’s Bakehouse. Our recipe for rugelach dough is pretty simple: one third butter, one

third cream cheese, and one third pastry flour. The cream cheese and butter come together to make an incredibly crisp, flaky pastry that crackles as you bite into it and then melts in your mouth. About as soon as it does, you’re sure to find yourself reaching for another.

That cream cheese dough is wrapped around a filling. Back in the old country, it might have had nuts, dried fruits, poppyseed paste, or jams. While the pastry has changed significantly, in some ways the filling has stayed the same. Our classic rugelach, made with half toasted walnuts and half dried currants, is a combination that great-great-great bubbe back in Austria would recognize immediately. Likewise, apricot and raspberry, filled with really flavorful jams, probably wouldn’t have been too unfamiliar. Chocolate is a more modern take—one that tasted like a crisp, bite-sized pain au chocolat.

We offer three rugelach gift boxes, each with a mix of two flavors. The most popular is half classic toasted walnut with currants, and half apricot. For chocoholics, there’s half chocolate, half raspberry. Or for the ruit fiends, try half apricot, half raspberry.

Paesano

Our most popular bread. Spreading out like the cap of a wild mushroom, its thin, snow white crust surrounds a soft, savory crumb filled with lots of holes (we work hard to put the holes in). This is the traditional bread of Puglia—the heel of Italy’s boot—and the best one to eat alongside a pasta dinner. Recommended for ripping and dipping in olive oil.

B-PAE 1½ lb loaf $10

SourdOUGH

The crisp, crackly crust, moist honeycombed interior and that trademark sour tang will tickle your tongue. We ship them to San Franciscans across the country—even to some living near the Golden Gate.

SHIPS 2 BUSINESS DAY

Farm

Imagine sitting around a French farmhouse table waiting for dinner. This would be the bread the family would serve. Like French pain au levain, it's a white-wheat mix made with a sour starter. Its crust is crisp, its flavor subtle and never tiring. The three pound round is my favorite. Cut into quarters and freeze what you don’t eat.

Jewish Rye

This is rye like my grandparents ate in Eastern Europe, made with plenty of freshly milled rye flour (believe it or not, most “rye bread” sold in America contains very little rye flour), a natural sour rye starter (not the usual canned shortcuts) and lots of time to let the dough develop. The base bread for our reuben and many other sandwiches.

greEn chilE & chedDAR

I love this bread: savory, lusty, delicious and dangerously close to addictive. Softly spicy, fire-roasted New Mexico green chiles and Nor'easter Cabot cheddar blended into the Bakehouse’s tangy Farm Bread. Great on its own or as an accompaniment to dinner. It’s especially good if you give it about fifteen minutes in a 325-degree oven before you break it open so it’s nice and steamy when you crack the crust.

parmesan pepper

My Italian friends would probably think this bread is heresy, but that’s their loss. It’s a natural for me because I love bread, parmesan and good black pepper. There’s a heaping helping of Parmigiano Reggiano in every loaf, along with a load of cracked black peppercorns. Leaves your mouth pleasantly aroused from the heat of the pepper and salivating from the savory sweetness of the parmesan. It’s fantastic when heated.

Chocolate cherry

A chocolate lover’s fantasy come true—bean to bar Nicaraguan chocolate from French Broad Chocolates in North Carolina, plus dozens of dried Michigan cher ries, all folded into a tangy bread. A few minutes in the oven, the chocolate chunks begin melting, the aroma of cocoa fills the air. Spread it with just a hint of sweet butter or set a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top of a warm slice. You’ll be sitting in front of the most decadent dessert you've had in years.

B-CHO 1¼ lb loaf $20

Pecan Raisin

This bread has been like a chain reaction—someone serves it for brunch, and the next week their guests are calling us and buying it for themselves. Calling it dense is an understatement: a half pound of big, juicy Red Flame raisins and toasted pecans are baked into every loaf. The New York Times says our Pecan Raisin Bread "redefines the category."

chocolate sourdough

It’s simple: our sourdough bread stuffed with chunks of dark Belgian chocolate. Like most of the school children I know, I like to rip off a hunk and eat it as soon as I open the bag, but it's best when you pop it in the oven for about fifteen to twenty minutes. Your entire kitchen is likely to be filled with sen suous smells—warm chocolate, good bread. This is one loaf that's very hard to keep around the house.

No rolling boulders here, but we’ll send a box of food surprises based on our most up-to-date food research and travel.

Whenever someone loses a loved one, their house is usually besieged by grand floral arrangements. I usually send food, though, and often find it’s really appreciated—especially when they can enjoy the foods right out of the box. Not sending in sympathy?

Our coffee cakes have such a magnetic attraction I sometimes think I could write about them in invisible ink and they’d still be our top sellers. They’re the classic Zingerman’s gift, guaranteed to please any palate. Start by choosing your flavor.

Finally, pick your packaging: either our colorful, cartooned gift box, or a classic woooden gift cate.

Businesses that have been making food for 100+ years

Many of the foods we sell come from companies that have been in business a long time. Some, like the ones featured on these pages, have been around for a century—or several. After so many years of practice, the foods they make are extraordinary.

Marques de Valdueza Olive Oil

The Álvarez de Toledo family has been growing olives and pressing oil on their farm in western Spain since 1624. With 400 years of practice, they’ve learned a thing or two about making exceptional extra virgin olive oil. Made from a blend of hoji blanca, picual, arbequina, and morisca olives, the oil has a lively, fresh flavor that reminds me of green tomates and artichokes. It’s got a bit of a peppery kick in the finish, just enough to make things interesting. Excellent in vinai grettes, dipping bread, drizzling on pasta, or just about any other use you can dream up.

Giorgio Cravero’s Parmigiano Reggiano

Giorgio Cravero’s family has been aging Parmigiano Reggiano in Bra, Italy since 1855. He focuses on soft, sweet flavors, the kind of Parmesan you want to eat all on its own (though it’s excellent for grating over pasta, too). The cheese we buy comes exclusively from the San Pietro dairy, located high in the hills above Modena. The diverse herbs and grasses at that high altitude makes for especially flavorful milk, which in turn makes for especially flavorful cheese—a quality noted by this Parmesan’s rare designation as a Prodotto di Montagna.

Friedrich Morgenroth is the eighth generation to make Kleinhettestedt mustard, so named for the 700-year-old village where the mill is located. It’s made in relatively small batches with giant millstones in a slow, cool process. The beer mustard is mixed with black beer and has a slight heat. The horseradish is more coarsely ground and, despite the name, has just a whisper of heat. Each comes packed in a hefty gorgeous stone crock that you’ll never want to throw away.

MACROOM OATMEAL FROM WALTON'S MILL

Eating this for the first time, you realize just how good oatmeal can be. It has deep, rich, toasty flavor and a substantial texture unlike any other oatmeal I’ve ever tried. The Walton family has been milling oats in Ireland since the 1700s. They still use old stone wheels, which I think leave the oats better tasting than steel-cut.

Suehiro Double Brewed Shoyu Japanese Soy Sauce

This shoyu—the Japanese word for “soy sauce”—comes from Suehiro, a firm that’s been making soy sauce since 1879 in Tatsuno, Japan. They start with Japanese soy beans and wheat, plus water and sea salt. Once they’ve made those ingredients into soy sauce, to make a “double brewed” shoyu, they start as if to make a new, second batch with more wheat and soy beans, but this time they replace the water and salt with the first batch of soy sauce. The result is remark ably smooth and soft compared to the harsh salt-bombs of most soy sauces. It’s equally great blended into sauces or used for dipping or sprinkling.

Broadbent Breakfast Sausage

Ronny and Beth Drennan make this sausage from a recipe from Grandma Anna Broadbent, who started selling it from the family barn in 1909. Just like Anna did, they mix a batch of fresh pork, sage and red pepper and stuff it into cloth bags that are cured by air drying for a week or so. Then it’s smoked over green hickory for 24 hours. Ronny eats his sausage for breakfast with eggs and biscuits. Try it in omelettes. It also makes some serious sausage gravy.

Majid Mahjoub’s family has been growing wheat, olives, fruit, and vegetables on their farm in Tebourba, Tunisia since 1896. Their attention to detail is meticulous. Take this couscous. Using the semolina wheat and extra virgin olive oil they grow on their own farm, they hand roll each little ball of couscous by hand and then dry it in the sun, the way it’s been done for millennia. It takes about ten days to make a batch of this couscous, but it only takes ten minutes to cook. I always have a jar or two on hand in my pantry for nights when I want a really flavorful, really quick, really easy meal. Serve plain, with tomato sauce, with grilled vegetables, with fish, or cooled in a salad.

In the heart of Paris, the jewelbox tea salon Angelina has been open since 1903. They serve astonishingly delicious hot chocolate: incredibly rich, with deep, intense chocolate flavor. Sipping a mug of it is an event to remember. But if a quick jaunt to Paris isn’t an option, the next best option is to sip a bottle of it at home. It’s like those bottles of milky coffee from that famous Seattle brand, but twice as big and full of impossibly rich drinking chocolate. Heat the bottle up in a water bath and you’re in business.

Suehiro Soy & Citrus Ponzu Sauce

This classic Japanese sauce has few ingredients, but each component is like a super-sized, amped-up version of what it could be. Dark soy sauce provides a rich, full-bodied base with a bit less saltiness than a light soy sauce. Four different kinds of Japanese citrus contribute floral aroma, punchy acidity, and sweetness. Mirin (rice wine) and konbu dashi (kelp stock) keep the intense flavors in check by adding savory, umami notes. It’s delicious as a dipping sauce, but don’t stop there. Add it to marinades and glazes, or mix it with mayonnaise to make a stellar sandwich spread.

Bloody Butcher Grits

Janie’s Mill sits in the heart of farm country in Ashkum, Illinois. Their granite millstones grind all manner of grains, including these Bloody Butcher grits. Bloody Butcher is an heirloom breed of corn first recorded in the mid-19th century. The name comes from the color of the kernels, which are a striking, deep crimson color. After grinding, the grits are speckled with hints of red. While the color is uncommon, the flavor is straightforward: it tastes like sweet, nutty corn. In fact, it tastes more like corn than fresh corn on the cob. It couldn’t be easier to cook. Enjoy in the morning like oatmeal or serve as a side dish with dinner.

Ortiz Tuna from the Bay of Biscay Tuna is one of the most popular foods we sell. It may seem surprising because here in the U.S., tinned tuna is a lowend commodity usually sold in supermarkets. In Spain it’s at the complete opposite of the culinary spectrum. Tuna in tins, especially these from the fourth-generation family firm Ortiz, is one of the jewels in Spain's culinary crown. Ortiz's fish are all line caught—not netted—hand filleted at sea and quickly tinned by hand in good olive oil. The olive oil is key. It adds flavor and makes the texture silky over time, unlike water, which tends to leach flavors from the fish. We offer a few different options from Ortiz. First up is Bonito (AKA Albacore) loin, our best seller, with full flavor, silky texture, and lingering sweetness. Next is the Yellowfin loin, which has a fuller, richer flavor. Or finally, for the richest, most sensual fish you can find in a tin, go for the Bonito ventresca (AKA belly).

Maussane Olive Oil from Provence

This is a unique oil that’s got one of the most dedicated followings I’ve ever witnessed. We tracked it down years ago at the adamant insistence of Nancy Harmon Jenkins, one of the world’s most knowledgeable food folks, and it’s had a growing cadre of fans ever since. A rich, golden nectar with a distinctive herbal character no other oil can match, it sings with an unequaled pitch in its range of high and low flavor notes. One of its fans told me, “If you love olives, you’ll want to marry this oil.”

Everyone forgets the name of this extra virgin olive oil. It’s long and nearly unpronounceable.

Savignola Paolina olive oil is unfiltered, giving it a thick, creamy, buttery texture. Maker Carlo Fabri produces only 500 bottles a year, and all his olives are picked and pressed in a three-day family affair in early November. He sends almost his entire production to us in tall, elegant bottles. Outstanding.

THe type of Olive matters

Peranzana Olive Oil from Marina Colonna in Molise, Italy

Olive oil varietals have a long way to go before they’re recognized like wine grape varietals. Everyone has heard of Chardonnay, Merlot, Pinot Noir. Even rare grapes like Viognier roll off most wine drinkers’ tongues. But try to name an olive varietial. Kalamata. Manzanilla. And? Stumped! Oil makers think about varietals, though. A lot. They have thousands to choose from with charming names like Halkidiki and Bidni. They need to pick the ones that grow best on their land, that resist the pests and blight and whatever weather their particular corner of earth throws at them. They need olives that pollinate well, that ripen well, that release enough oil and that, most importantly, taste good.

If you’re making oil in the southeast of Italy and looking for an olive that does all of this, you can’t do much better than Peranzana. It grows well in the scorch-then-snow climate and ripens before frost reveals itself. It releases enough oil when

pressed to make a business case for planting it. Its flavor is bold enough to stand up on its own, it doesn’t need blending with a “fixer” varietal that gives it a kick. It’s not too bold, though, so eating it does not provoke a hot, peppery, green-grass battle with every food it touches.

A decade and a half ago, after I visited Marina Colonna’s farm, we selected from the dozen or so varietals she grows and presses separately and chose this one for a bottling she’d do just for us. Every year we’ve tasted again. Every year we’ve chosen the same varietal. Peranzana makes a lovable, delicious, authentic oil. You can use it in your kitchen to marinade, to dress, to douse, and to liven up just about any dish. I’d avoid cooking with it since that drives off some of the great aroma that you’re paying for, but any use after the dish is cooked is fair game. It shines on beans, raw vegetables and just-grilled meats.

Balsamic vinegars Balsamic vinegars

Working just off the historic square in the center of the old town of Castelvetro, southwest of Modena, Italy, Roberta Pelloni, her husband Marino Tintori, and their son Simone make a range of great vinegars. Although Americans tend to gravitate toward sweet caramel-flavored balsamics, Marino is quick to emphasize “the key to great Balsamico is balance.” Exaggerating sweetness is an easy way to enhance appeal and reduce the need for proper blending and aging. You might not notice it at first, but after many uses overly sweet balsamics get kind of dull. Not so with those from the Tintoris. We’ve been selling them for over a decade, and they have a legion of followers who return to them again and again.

Txakoli White Wine Vinegar

Txakoli (pronounced tchuh-KOH-lee) wine is one of my favorites. It’s enjoyed young, has a bright, fresh flavor with small hints of apricot and a dry finish. It’s hard to find outside of Spain’s Basque region, probably because they drink most of it. It’s rarely made into vinegar, so this bottle is about as common as an albino rhinoceros. The flavor of the vinegar is light, lovely, lingering. It’s not sweet, and there’s an airiness to it that makes it refreshing. It’s very nice on simple salads of most any sort. Exceptional with seafood. Use it to deglaze a pan after you sauté fish in it.

Aged Sherry Vinegar

Sanchez Romate draws upon 300 years of experience making sherry and sherry vinegar to blend different ages of vinegar (from three to fifty years old) to create a sweet, soft, mouth-tingling flavor. It became a staple in my home long ago, but for centuries before that it became the choice of the royal family of Spain—and the Vatican. Add a few drops to creamy tomato soup or a cold gazpacho. Drop a dash on a salad of ripe, sweet, summer tomatoes. Mix it into a classic cocktail sauce and stand back for the fireworks. Bottle illustrated at right.
